Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 107 CHAPTER EIGHT I‟ve mentioned a few guys I met in school, so I‟ll introduce you to them now to help you follow the story better. Jerry Fatura was a guy I met through Bob Chouinard. Jerry lived a few blocks west of Bob on Comfort Street. It‟s not nearly as good as Easy Street, but his folks bought the house without consulting Jerry. I‟m not sure if he was an only child, or not, which tells you Jerry and I didn‟t really hang together. We were with each other only when in the company of other people, usually Bob Chouinard. Jerry was in love, from junior high and after, with a girl named Becky Alford. She lived two houses south of him. If there ever was a true storybook romance, those two were the hero and heroine of it. I don‟t remember a lot about Becky, other than she was cute. She‟d certainly pass through those doors of determination, “Seems Okay To Me”, and “Not With <strong>My</strong> Dick”, on the first side. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 108 I haven‟t spoken with, or heard about, Jerry in over thirty-five years. All I can do is hope it was one of the truly happy marriages, a status more like fiction these days. If it turned out she took him to divorce court, where she and her attorney economically raped him beyond recovery, don‟t tell me. I‟d prefer to continue my fantasy. Jerry was tall, over six feet, a good two-hundred pounds. Dark haired with real dark eyes, well-behaved in all respects. He was pretty quiet, but had a sense of humor. He‟d drink a few beers with us, but I don‟t think I ever saw him drunk. I also don‟t recall him ever being in a fight. If he ever had one, I‟d‟ve sure hoped it wouldn‟t be with me. Those quiet guys are the ones with the ugly surprises when you push „em too far. Worse, as I said, Jerry was a big son-of-a-bitch. Always cheerful, a ready smile, intelligent, fun to be around. That‟s Jerry, in a nutshell. In short, if you have sons, he was exactly what you want your boy to be. ### “T” Townsend. “T” was from neighboring Everett High School, not our rival, not an enemy school. That was Eastern High School, across town. The biggest difference between Eastern and Sexton: Mexicans went to Eastern, blacks went to Sexton. <strong>My</strong> school‟s student population was 30-35% black. Everett was where the rather well off families lived, at least back then. It‟s also the school that provided a tall, black kid named Irvin “Magic” Johnson to play basketball at a quiet university known as Michigan State. He played rather well in 1979. I believe Magic went on to play a little pro basketball. Feel free to correct me if I‟m wrong. He was a nice kid and seemed reasonably talented. “T” was different, in many respects. Six feet tall, 130 pounds, he could get lost Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
